“The lesson had a good focus on drill work, especially on the third ball and kitchen line battles, which I think is pretty helpful for sharpening specific skills. Though, I’m curious to see how well I can transfer these practices into actual game situations , still, Gustavo’s approach seems to keep things practical. There's a definite emphasis on improving through targeted drills, which is useful, and I’m hopeful I can build on this in future lessons by simulating real gameplay more. If you're into detailed, strategic practice, you might want to give Gustavo a try.”

Honestly, this lesson helped me focus on strengthening the area we targeted, which was quite helpful. Though I still have room for continued progress, I feel more confident about my game now and appreciate Gustavo's measured approach to teaching. Still, I look forward to building on what we covered and hopefully improving even more in the future. If you're considering a lesson with Gustavo, it’s worth trying out to see that focused attention firsthand.

I'm pretty satisfied with how the lesson went, especially after reviewing those three strokes I was struggling with. Still, I think there's room to get even better, but I feel more confident now. Gustavo's focus on specific techniques really helped me notice my progress, quite helpful. Though my lessons are wrapped up for now, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again if I need some extra guidance.

Gustavo’s lesson was quite good. He’s friendly and really meets you where you’re at, which I appreciated. He keeps things manageable and doesn’t overload you. I like that he’s positive and approachable, and I think building on what we did next time could take my game to the next level. Still, I’ll definitely try more lessons with him to keep improving my control and shot awareness.
